CANTA Y BAILA CONMIGO™
HAS TWO TYPES OF CLASSES
SO EVERYONE CAN GET EXPERIENCE THE GIFT OF MUSIC AND LANGUAGE!
Canta y Baila
Conmigo™ Mixed Age
Music and movement in Spanish for
children 0-5 and their adult caregivers.
Canta y Baila Conmigo™
is a unique program that combines music education and language
immersion. With Canta y Baila
Conmigo™ you and your child will
be transported as you sing, dance and play to the irresistible sounds
and rhythms
of Spanish speaking cultures. Designed
for beginners and native speakers alike, Canta y Baila Conmigo™ creates a playful,
interactive atmosphere where language learning is integrated naturally
and
organically in the musical experience.
Each semester of
Canta y
Baila Conmigo™ features a different collection of carefully
selected
folk classics, familiar children’s songs and new adaptations of
traditional
songs and rhymes, all beautifully arranged and recorded for the family
take-home CD. In addition to the CD,
families receive a songbook containing Spanish lyrics, sheet music,
cultural
information, and an English Language supplement for Spanish learners
with song
translations and language notes.
Canta y Baila Conmigo™ Niños Grandes
For ages 5-7 years old.
This
Canta y
Baila Conmigo™ class is specifically geared toward early
school-aged
kids, who are still at a critical point in both their music and language
development. Canta y Baila
Conmigo™ Niños
Grandes capitalizes on the enthusiasm and growing independence
of this
age group. Using the same music
collection as the parent-child class, Niños Grandes
expands older kids’ learning
experience through role play, more complex rhythm and melodic
activities, improvisation
and cooperative games. The goals of the
class are for kids to expand their communication skills in the Spanish
language,
deepen their music-making experience, and strengthen social and
interpersonal skills.
Parents are encouraged to join in for the
last 10 minutes of class. Niños
Grandes is perfect for kids who have “graduated” from the
parent-child
class format, and as always, welcomes all levels of Spanish.
